I love alphabet dies! The Mini Alphabet set is unusual, because the letters are attached, but cut out separately. I cut the words, “Happy Birthday,” from my favorite Sale-a-bration Designer Paper, Flight & Airy. The words were elevated by using Foam Adhesive Sheets; a technique that gives smaller die-cuts wonderful dimension.
Sale-a-bration Birthday Card
For the background, I used the largest Perennial Postage Die (another favorite) to cut Basic White Cardstock. Doesn’t it give a fabulous border?
After cutting, I added color with Bubble Bath and Fresh Freesia Inks. The inks were applied with a Blending Brush over an Artistic Mix Decorative Mask. I also stamped some Fresh Freesia dots, using an Irresistible Blooms Stamp. This was glued to Flight & Airy DSP, that was glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Next, I fussy cut the bird, also from Flight & Airy DSP, and attached her with Dimensionals. After attaching the letters and three Tinsel Gems, my card was complete.
I love feeling the raised letters, and this may be the birthday card my husband gives me this year. Hee Hee.
